Homestay Story

I loved my host family
and their apartment! My host family was of course busy with their own lives and
schedules, but they always took the time to be sure that I was okay, ask if I
wanted any help, offer food, or check to make sure I was safe and on my way
home late at night. The apartment was very nice and spacious. I was given my
own spacious room and closet and dresser storage as well as a desk and tv just
as described on the website. The apartment building was within a large
residential area of all apartments. The neighborhood was great as well, being
mainly residential and having lots of schools and restaurants and marts nearby,
as well as a very convenient bank! The apartment was a bit far from the subway
station, but I knew this before I picked the apartment, and I knew there were
buses nearby that I could take. The apartment is also solidly north of the busy
and trendy areas of Seoul, but I also liked this because of the quieter
residential atmosphere, and you can get anywhere in Seoul through public
transportation!

I had lots of
opportunities to explore Korea and learn various things about Korean culture
during my stay with my host family, however I mostly went on trips with friends
from the school where I studied abroad. Trips to Naksansa and Wando were
organized by my school, but my friend and I went to Gwangju for a couple days
because we were curious to see what other parts of Korea were like, and we
organized that trip ourselves via Express Bus Terminal and Airbnb. It was
definitely an interesting experience!

I was very satisfied with
HomestayKorea's service! The most inconvenient thing may have been transferring
money internationally through Western Union, but everything turns out well with
patience!

Honestly, this trip to
Korea was like a trial run for my future since I would like to live and work in
Korea in the future. I wanted to see what living in Seoul was like, and whether
I could challenge living and communicating in the Korean language and
everything. HomestayKorea gave me a very stable base and from there I built
many wonderful experiences! HomestayKorea always checked in frequently and
replied promptly and I felt very well cared for. If I ever return to Korea and
look for a homestay I will definitely use HomestayKorea and recommend it to my
friends!
